Bruce, I assume that the only thing these units do to a flash is triggering, and nothing else. I.e. any simple flash should work if the trigger voltage is compatible.
The webpage lists just a handfull of Pentax flashes there (while adding "Other flash models with a trigger voltage of 12V or lower.") Do you know if there is anything in this device that would prevent it from working with any flash with 12V trigger voltage? I expect it should work with Pentax AF-500 FTZ flash. I wonder if it would work with an older generic (non-dedicated, A-mode capable) Vivitar flash that I purchased in 1994 and used with my first SLR, Kiev 19.
